waetherman has been given a timeout for repeated attacking of other users, derailing topics by complaining about the community rather than staying on-topic, and most recently, outright ignoring our policy on unfounded assumptions.
We don’t specifically call this out in our guidelines (other than by asking users to be cool and not bully others), but we expect you to treat other users with respect, even when - perhaps especially when - you disagree with their comments. There are too many places online where an unpopular opinion results in attacking the poster rather than their ideas or opinions. The latter can be changed, and we don’t tolerate attacking others as a result of posts here.
Further, if you’re using one of our titles proclaiming your long tenure here, then we expect more from you, as well. We are not going to accept ignorance of our guidelines from a user that has spent half a decade with us. If you’ve been here that long then you know our policies on respect and decorum, because you weren’t eaten by a luckdragon in the meantime.
